WATCH: Ondrej Palat Scores Goal for Lightning in Game 7

Ondrej Palat gave his team some breathing room during Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The New York Rangers nearly tied the score on several occasions after Alex Killorn opened the scoring, but it was Palat who got the second goal of the contest, as he lasered one home to put the Tampa Bay Lightning ahead by two goals in the win-or-go-home game.

Henrik Lundqvist’s Game 7 streak is in serious jeopardy.
